Silver lake

I've never been here. My brother and a couple of buddies were going to plan a trip for the beginning of October . Any tips I need to know? Any recommendations on where to stay? Any other helpful info

 

Thanks in advance

it will be cold. most places around there will be closed by then, off season prices will be good.  September 8th and 9th is the last big week end there. a lot of the stores and restaraunts close after that week end or a open on certain days and times. do a google search on silverlake sand dunes and make some calls to the hotels and campgrounds. the only campground we do not like is the hide away. it sucks. the dnr site has a list of the rules. I don't think you'll need vouchers that late in the season

 

spark arrestors are needed.

dune flag, order them from david allen racing. web site.

orv sticker

state park sticker.

 

warm clothes.

We're going this weekend and again on September 20-21-22. (If anyone cares to join us, your more than welcome to join the fun.)

 

Late in the season we stay at the Sierra Sands Resort. Great place and with the off peak rates, it's affordable.

 

Good to be sleeping "Indoors" that time of year and the big outdoor Hot Tub is great for resting muscles after ripping the dunes.

Thanks. I would love to go earlier, but September is booked up for me. I appreciate the invite though.
